Power Generation on Highway by Harnessing Wind Power

Abstract

This paper is focused on the wind power generated by harnessing the wind power generated by moving vehicles on the roadway. The wind power and solar power is the future of power generation system. The wind power have the least carbon footprint as compare to other form of energy sources. In this paper a system for harnessing roadside wind power is discussed in this system a special type of wind turbine is used for harnessing wind generated by moving vehicles and converted into electrical energy by a generator. The electrical energy is stored in the batteries installed in system and further used when require by converting DC into AC by an inverter. The AC power is used for supplying power to houses, street light and many other electrical loads.
